    Biannually

    • Proactive theme updates. Theme updates are tested on staging servers before live release with developers checking and securing the update before it is deployed to the live site. This obviates any update issues closing or breaking the live site.
    • Managing any small site corrections that may occur due to plugin updates. This includes corrections to minor issues that the theme update may introduce however it does exclude significant issues that may arise. In that instance we’ll be able to demonstrate these issues on the staging server for you to see and estimate the remedial work accordingly. Remember this is on our staging server so your live site remains untouched and functional.
    • Confirmation of Theme update activities completed by email with any observations, recommendations or warnings.
